Rev. DR.. Joseph Parker, In his eulogy
upon Henry Ward Beecher, speaking OF

was not this brilliant orator sometimes con
sidered TO be uncertain in his theological
posiiionf Was he not heretical9 uuortho
doxf IRREGULAR Before answering the
question should like to know who puts
is. Who are the custodians Of orthodoxy
Who are the divinely appointed sentinels OF
truth! | am prepared al once to own that
Mr. Beecher's theology was impatient OF
system, form. or whstever looked like
fiuality. He dislised all nsrrowness, sec
tsrianism snd heresy hunting. ! viii GO
further and ssy that we do pot always
know where Mr.. Beecher was In his theo-
ogical thinking. Some of Us could not
follow him when he entered the radian;

SENATOR PLUMB'S VIEWS.

Senator 2. B. Plumb had occasion t
visit Topeka the past few days, and while
In the city expressed his views briefly upol
the political situation and outlook for tht
Republican party to representative Of ih'
Capital. After paying passing compli
ment to Lincoln and Blaine as men o.
ability and purity of life the senator sale
that he believes 1t impolitic for the Repub
icans of Kansas to enter into a discussion
Of the merits and dement's Of probable
presidential candidates at this time. L
makes very little difference to the party IL
this state who the candidate may be. Kansa:
is reliably Republican and will poll ..the
usual maj ority for the candidate who. In
the combined judgment and wisdom OF
the representatives of the party In con
yention assembled, deems 1t wise to nom
mate.
As the Capital remarks Senator Plumb
simply expresses the sentiments of the Re
publican party of Kansas when he says he
Is for the nomination of the man who can
poll the greatest numoer Of votes, when
that matter Is determined after careful
and judicious canvass Of the field.

The hottest speech ever made by Master
Workman Powderly, It is said, was his
imprisoned appeal to the general assembly
Tuesday not to regard or act upon a reso

archists that had been offered In the as.
sembly. He said with great vehemence
that no true Knight could bt an anarchist.
The unanimity with which he was sus.
tanned by that body would seem to Indicate
that there is very little real sympathy for
the miserable wretches who brought all
their pains upon themselves by their own
foolhsrdiness. The anarchists. had been
counting very largely upon the moral sup
port they expected to receive at the hands
Of the Knights of Labor, by resolution or
otherwise, through the general assembly.
Such encouragement, If 1t had been offered
by adopting a resolution of the kind ex
pected, would have availed the condemned
men nothing, but would have seriously
compromised the Z of L. In the estimation
of the public.

THE BOOM NOT BUSTED

The mind Of one man, a. least, "back
east" has been dissbused as to the true stu
'stion In the Windy Wonder, as witness the
following from the Ligonier, Ind. Leader:
The report that the boom at Wichita,
Kansas, had burst and was fat seems TO be
unfounded, II we are to judge from state
ments received direct from the scene of ex
cttemen'. Wm Dowell furnishes US with
late copies Of the daily EAGLE which show
that the boom Is still on. Within week
seven large factories. including car works,
watch factory, packing house and iron
works. with an aggregate capital stock Of
s. 900, 600. have located there. Dr.. Rip
perton writes TO Dr.. Giants that the boom T.
greater than ever Wichita Is marvel
and no mistake. We have no desire 10 assist
In booming the place 10 The detriment of
any o'her locality. but facts are facts, and
the friends of Wichita and those Of our
residents who have invested there will be
glad 10 know the truth, aud thst the eve of

MEXICO AND GUATEMALA.
From the Nation.

From the Nation.
According to the message Of Presiden,
Diaz to Mexican congress there Is no little
tension In the relations Of Mexico with Gu
atemala Early In the year, 1t seems, the
assistant secretary OF the Mexican legation
in Central America was assaulted by citi-
zen Of Guatemala. and the latter, when
brought to trial. received punishment far
less than the laws assigned In such cases.
The Mexican minister was at once ordered
to demand that the magistrate responsible
for the evasion Of the legal penalty should
be dismissed from Office While the affair
was pending, the assumption Of the dicta
torship by Barillas took place. who name
distelY sought recognition from President
Dlaz. Thiz was refused by the latter,
however, and has not yet
been granted; the Mexican
Government protesting to be ready to
recognize any Government established by
the people of Guatemala but doubling II
the dictatorship was In accordance with
the popular will. Meanwhile, second as
sault upon the same Secretary has occurred.
and he demand for satisfaction has been
met very chillingly. . Gen. Dlaz's reference
to the affair amodnt'f TO distinct threat that

decided action on the part of Mexico.
Those passages Of the message bearing up
on the financial condition Of the country
are of interest. The President reports q
decided increase In the revenue for the year
ending June 30 the total being $28, 700, coo,
as against $26 700, 600 in the Year before
The difference between this augment
ed Income and the supplies
voted by Congress for the
same period, $33. 600, OO0 Is, the president
admits, alarming" though he says that a
severe &c, nomY has enabled him to bring
the expenses so far within the estimates
that the deficit Is not so great as the figures
Just cited would indicate He says that
the new tariff in force since last July has
been favorably received by the country,
with the exception Of the part reducing the
duty On cotton goods; that part, he init
mates, may soon be changed to meet the
wishes of Mexican manufacturers. Dur
ing the two months Of its operation, the
new tariff has witnessed. the message
asserts. a marked decrease In smuggling

Monday afternoon. After a speech of
welcome 10 visitors by President Collier of
the association, ii. W. Grady introduced
Governor Gordon, who delivered an ex-

following patriotic sentiment was ex-
pressed: IF had the power to establish
American customs, our people should on
all such occasions render thanks that We

SUGAR AT oLEARwArzR

To the Editor Of The Eagle.
The remark Il often made that we SET
nothing nowadays In the EAGLE aboa
Clearwater. Well, the fact is, our city
has been quite sick and under the DOCTOR
care for some time, and for fear of con
tagion ne have kept quiet. But things AT
changing with US. Kansas has had many
dark days and many things to contend
with, but its people hsve never lived or
Cant. The word has no meaning.
Clearwater Is of too much importance
to be neglected and forgotten.
1t Is only sixteen miles from the
emporium, the "great" furure Of the state,
and as we feel natural pride in our own
county seat, we feel greater pfide In our
own beautiful Mound City," the real
health resort of Kansas. Well, we have
now live paper-just what its name indi-
Gates" Independent" The interests Of
this valley, town and county are what 1t de-
sires to represent. We seek to fill up our
county with good families from the east. and
cultivate all the unculuvated lands and
make this the garden of Eden Of Kansas.
We shall raise 1000 acres Of sorgum next
season, erect factory here worth $50, 600
and manufacture sugar for the county
This sugar question Is destined to revO-
lutionize the entire system Of farming. The
farmer viii not depend upon one thing.
and that liable to be ruined by drouth,
bugs, hot winds, ETC., ETC., but raise from
ten to forty acres of cane and be
independent, even If hogs and corn fall.
So now we feel, with our fine school and
churches, our elegant stores filed with not
only the pecessaries of life, but the luxuries,
and sold at prices which people are willing
to pay, that Clearwater Is on the sure road
to health, wealth and happiness. We don't
want boom, but are bound to grow as the
country improves, and shall encourage
every man. woman and child to do some.
thing to build up rather than tear down.
We have written volume upon the re
sources Of Kansas. but more particularly
upon the Arkansas and the Minnesota val
eys, and shall never cease to write and
represent our farms, homes and climate to
he home seekers Of the worn out east. So
low, dear old EAGLE, fly to the homes of
hose who wish to come and possesses this |
,oodly land, and we will do them good.

INDUSTRIAL ADVANCEMENT IN THE
SOUTH.

To the farmers Assem- led In Atlanta, Mr.
Henry w. Grady, editor of the Atlanta
Constitution, spoke In these glowing terms
Of the new South: There are $50, 600
artisans at work In the south today that
we're not here In 1880; and this does hot
include the thousands that are building hew
enterprises. We manufactured last year
s2l3. 600. 900 worth Of articles that six
years ago we bought from the north or
west. Insix years following the cotton ex
position of 1878 new cotton mills have been
built In the south, starting one million new
spindles. The south today Is witnessing an
Industrial revolution for which history has
no precedent Figures do not measure it,
ana amazement is simply limited by COM
prehension.
